In Memory of My Mother
Athylea Lighthawk
----------------------

My mother gave up her life recently. This bit of news struck me hard.

I stood high in the trees above Eleusis, looking up at the sky where I imagined my mother standing with countless others whose lives were lost over the years, them looking down at us carrying on with our lives. I did hope Lord Thoth had been gentle with her as he ushered her soul into the Great Hall to rest..

She left us without a whisper, without a glance, without a touch. Like the breeze sweeping silently through the night..

If I had a chance to say something to my mother before she left our world, I would have told her how much I loved her.. How much I looked up to her in secret as my role model and mom. I never told her I looked up to her.

That chance passed like the wind in the night. My mother will never know I miss her even more so now....

Good night, Mother.. I love you...

A word from me:

Please please let your family and friends know how much you love them. Even if you are on the opposite ends of the world in different cities or at odds with each other.. Set aside time with them and tell them how much they mean to you.

My mother meant a lot to me and my sister. Her passing was hard on me, but I will live and know I was lucky to have her in my life when she was alive.
